I am a software developer who uses Linux exclusively since about 2000 and has contributed indirectly to Debian.
Last week I wanted to setup Debian on my new work laptop. Naively and without thinking much I downloaded the default image, so the wifi card didn't work.
I was on holiday, abroad with friends. Even with both the buster and testing non-free images the wifi card didn't work.
After three hours (downloading, installing a cd creator on a mac of a friend etc) I got frustrated, downloaded an Ubuntu image and it just worked.
- marmaduke 7y agoI think of Ubuntu as Debian + the yucky driver bits.
